Eve confirms new album 'Lip Lock' UK release details

The rapper will put out her third studio album on June 2 via RED Records. The artwork appears below:

The record marks her first new material in 11 years after 2002's Eve-Olution, which featured the hit singles 'Gangsta Lovin'' and 'Satisfaction'.

"I call the new record Lip Lock because it's about locking the game back down," she said in a statement.

"The overall theme here is strength. There's aggression, like my first record, but it's different. I'm in your face, but I don't need to prove anything. It's not anger, it's feeling my strength, being a strong woman."

She added: "I'm not trying to relive any moments of my life, I'm in a new place in my life. I'm almost a new artist - 2013 is a year you will see more sides of me than ever before, this is just the start!"

Guest features on the album include Missy Elliot, Snoop Dogg, Dawn Richard, Juicy J and Pusha T, while The Neptunes and Swizz Beatz are among its producers.

The LP is trailed by the single 'Make It Out This Town', which features Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta. Watch the official music video below:
